Sam Rios

March 4, 1931 ~ March 16, 2018

Sam was born in San Francisco on March 4, 1931 and passed away on March 16, 2018. He was the oldest son of Victoria Ynostroza and Sam Rios, Sr. and fulfilled the traditional Mexican role with all its responsibilities. He was a loving husband and father whose presence is missed, but his spirit will always be remembered. His big heart, unbound energy and sense of commitment prompted him to share his knowledge with both Sacramento State and the Sacramento Chicano Community. In 1972, he was appointed director of Chicano Studies at CSUS, and served in that position for almost 30 years. One of his passions was teaching. He was "El Prof‚", colleague and friend to many during his almost forty years at CSUS in the Departments of Ethnic Studies and Cultural Anthropology. Community involvement and being a part of the Royal Chicano Air Force (RCAF) was a huge part of his life. The United Farm Workers grape boycott starting in the late 60s, the original Galer¡a Posada Bookstore, and the Breakfast for Ni¤os and Chicanito Science projects were programs that brought him together with some of the first innovators, organizers, artists, activists and friends working for Chicano civil rights. His membership in the Escritores del Nuevo Sol created the opportunity to share his thoughts and words among friends and community. He loved sports and played football for Mission High School, City College of SF, Sac State and for the US Air Force Championship Teams. He also loved the camaraderie and golf tournaments while a member of the Mexican American Golf Association. Sam is survived by his wife of 40 years, Christina Ramirez and their children Bernardo, Tony and Olivia (Antonio Acu¤a). He also leaves behind 5 children of a previous marriage: Samuel (Marie), Ruben (Connie), Velin, Reyes (Laura) and Tom Rios including many grandchildren.

Richard A. Nickles

November 29, 1926 ~ April 4, 2018

Richard A. Nickles, affectionately referred to by many as “Dick,” passed away on April 4, 2018 in Baltimore, Maryland, where he and his wife Jean have resided for the past several years. He was 91. Dick was a legend in the Sacramento construction industry. Dick’s reputation of integrity and professionalism developed over the years, beginning when he was a partner at Nielsen-Nickles Construction Company and continuing when he became an educator and professor at California State University, Sacramento. Dick is considered by many to be the founder of the CSUS Construction Management Program.
Dick was born in Sacramento on November 29, 1926, to his parents, John and Lola Nickles; he was the youngest of seven children. He is a 1944 graduate of Sacramento High School. After graduation, he went on to serve as a second lieutenant with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. As a platoon commander, Dick oversaw numerous construction projects and demolition of compromised buildings in Griesheim, Wiesbaden, and Schwanheim, Germany. In 1950, Dick married Willie Jean "Jean" Nickles, and in 1952 he graduated from the University of California at Berkeley, having earned a B.S. degree in civil engineering.
In Sacramento, Dick entered the construction industry as a carpenter but soon moved into the management side of the business. In 1960, he co-founded Nielsen-Nickles Construction Company. The firm built many of the iconic commercial buildings in Northern California and Nevada, including Harrah’s Casino Reno, Sacramento Community Center Theater, Redding Civic Auditorium, education buildings at UC Davis and California State University, Sacramento, and technical structures at Aerojet to name a few. Nielsen-Nickles also renovated important Sacramento historical structures, including the Firehouse Restaurant in Old Sacramento.
In 1974, at 47 years old, Dick sold his interest in Nielsen-Nickles and returned to UC Berkeley earning an M.S. degree in construction engineering and management. From there, he launched a second career as an educator. In 1975, he joined the civil engineering faculty at California State University, Sacramento, where he developed and championed the school’s construction management program. During the 15 years Dick taught, he influenced and helped shape many students into construction industry leaders and business owners.
Once retired from CSUS, Dick began consulting, a third stage in his life that drew on his experiences in the prior two. He enjoyed this work and viewed his efforts as a success if he could advise the decision-makers through design, construction, and completion without any lawsuits being filed. Dick could foresee potential conflicts and worked with the parties to address and resolve issues before any threat of litigation would arise. One such project he was particularly proud of was the Ziggurat Building in West Sacramento, near the Tower Bridge.
Dick is survived by his wife Jean; daughter Julia Nickles Bryan; son-in-law Charles Bryan; grandchildren Jessica Bryan, John Bryan, Robert James Camacho Nickles, and Christina Benton; Christina's husband, Shannon Benton; and two great-grandchildren, Callen and Linden Benton. He was preceded in death by his son James Austin "Jim" Nickles. Dick and Jean remained constant and caring companions for 68 years.

Jerry Louis Tobey

January 6, 1934 ~ April 19, 2018

Longtime Sacramento State (CSUS) professor Jerry Tobey died April 19, 2018. Born January 6, 1934 in Parma, OH, he grew up in the projects in Boston, where he acquired a slight accent, an affinity for the Red Sox, and a lifelong love of learning. As a youngster he would happily spend entire days at the library, dropped off by his older brother, Gene. While earning his B.A. from Northeastern University, Jerry became the school's first Rhodes Scholar nominee. He earned his M.A. from Brandeis University in 1958. His doctoral studies were interrupted for two years while he studied in Germany as a Fulbright Scholar. There, he became fluent in German and was taken under his host family's father's wing. He completed his Ph.D. at Brandeis in 1964. After two years teaching at University of Arizona, he joined the faculty at CSUS in 1965, where he taught History and Humanities until 2003. His publications included two volumes on the history of ideas from classical antiquity to early modern Europe. He became the first Chair of the Academic Senate to serve two consecutive terms and was a substantial contributor to the life of the university. Liked and respected by students, faculty, and staff, he was known for his warmth, academic rigor, and dedication. Colleague Brad Nystrom remembers him as the only professor who took the trouble to learn the subjects when conducting program reviews of other departments. Jerry also taught as a volunteer in the academic program for inmates at Folsom Prison. In retirement, he taught with the Renaissance Society and twice was president of the CSUS Retirees Association. He enjoyed playing tennis, traveling internationally, and spending time with his family and many friends, who were drawn to his kindness, humor, intellect, stimulating conversation, and humble nature. Above all he'll be remembered for his passion for learning, with interests ranging from history to biology to politics. He could answer arcane questions on virtually any topic, yet never flaunted his knowledge. He was reading new theories of evolution and critiques of the President up to the day of his death, always happiest when surrounded by books. Jerry is survived by his wife, Beverly Meeker Tobey; stepdaughter, Amanda Meeker, and her husband, Wil Davies; brother Gene and his wife, Nancy; nieces and nephews Mac and David Ross and Christina, Raym, Dom, John, and David Tobey; and grand-nieces and nephews. We all will miss him dearly. Already passed away are his father, Raymond Tobey; mother, Doris Kemper Tobey; sister, M. Joanne Tobey Ross; brother Malcolm Tobey; and ex-wife, Marilyn Hanley. Remembrances may be made to the Sacramento SPCA. A memorial gathering will be held in May; email JerryTobeyRemembrance@gmail.com for details.
Comments from Alan Wade, Social Work:
I have so many memories of Jerry; among them his unfailing wry sense of humor, and his generosity. The latter came my way in a very personal sense--Jerry offered me a place to live in his Campus Commons home for several months during a time when I was under stress and in need. He even allowed me to bring my faithful but old and smelly dog Tamsen with me! I shall never forget his help in a time of great need.
Comments from Henry Chambers, History:
Jerry and I were colleagues over three decades in the History Dept. Most memorable were his years as Senate Chair when Sac State’s Presidency was in disarray due to resignations and some very poor choices for the office. He helped stabilize campus administration. Jerry was also one of our resident intellectuals teaching Intellectual history, Christianity, and humanities.
He served our campus very well!

Comments from Bob Curry, Economics Department and former Director, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects:
John Terrence (Terry) Manns passed away recently. Terry contributed greatly to our university by knowing how to generate financial support for our faculty. That support enabled many colleagues to undertake and complete an array of scholarly projects. During the more than two decades that he was a fixture on campus, Terry worked tirelessly with faculty in order to generate an array of grants and contracts that elevated both our faculty and our university “to a better place.” Many of us remember him for what he did, but our memories do not come from his personal bravado. In fact, he was almost timid when it came to talking about the role that he played in creating and maturing the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP).
Terry came aboard at a crucial time. The Office was evolving after having been the Pre-Awards part of the Foundation. It was a risky move for the university to undertake and it could have been a costly failure—but it wasn’t. His contribution to that process helped to make the transfer easy and effective. But more importantly, he played the key role in designing the Office so that it could be effective when it came to assisting faculty persons who came to the Office in search of ways to acquire external funding.
Terry wouldn’t acknowledge how important he was to the university. He arrived at a time when his knowledge and abilities were badly needed—simply put, he didn’t publicly talk about that role because he was not a boastful person. In fact, I recall that even when he came to our campus for an interview with me, it was difficult for me to get him to talk about himself. But I sensed something about him: I knew he’d be a very good hire. In addition, he arrived at a very good time for our university because Sandra Barkdull asked me to run a brand new office for an academic year or two. I said yes even though both of us knew that I had no experience that would have prepared me to do the job. But we were lucky and we both knew it! Fortunately, Sandra, Bob Bess and Don Gerth collaborated on putting together a package that he would accept.
Arnie Golub succeeded me as Director of the ORSP. I know that Arnie and the many colleagues with whom we worked, join us in recalling with gratitude the many valuable contributions that were made to our university by John Terrence Manns.

Calvin Richard "Cal" Boyes

May 6, 1929 ~ 2018

It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Calvin (Cal) Richard Boyes. Cal was born in Shelby, Montana on May 6, 1929 to Charles and Emilia (Johansen) Boyes and grew up on a berry farm in Monroe, Washington. He attended Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington where he met the love of his life, Eileen Golden. After college, Cal served in the Coast Guard on the icebreaker, Northwind, and remained in the Coast Guard Reserve until he retired with the rank of Commander in 1977. In 1956, Cal was hired as an assistant baseball and football coach at Sacramento State. Cal served many roles at the school: head baseball coach for 17 years, backfield football coach, professor, Physical Education department chair, Director of University Development, Vice President and Athletic Director. But more than a coach, professor or administrator, Cal was a mentor to his students and athletes, many of whom went on to become teachers and coaches themselves. Even in the last months of his life he loved listening to their shared memories and life stories. The Boyes household was a busy one. In between sporting events, there were adventures with the Don Golden family, camping at Pismo Beach, abalone diving, clamming, fishing and stopping at every highway historic marker for history lessons. Friends young and old were always welcome at their Donner Lake Cabin. When the beds were full, room was made on the floor and deck and Eileen made sure everyone was well-fed. After retirement, Cal and Eileen enjoyed golf at Lake of the Pines, travelling in their RV, exploring international destinations, and family get-togethers. He remained a gentle man even through the progression of dementia. The family would like to thank the nurses and caregivers at Cascades of the Sierra, St. Mary's Hospice and St. Mary's Hospital in Reno, NV. He is survived by his wife Eileen, daughter CaroI (Terry Longobardo), son Bob (Lynnee), daughter Cheryl, granddaughters Miranda and Becca and siblings Mabel, Bill and Merv. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Bob. Should friends desire, memorials may be made in Cal's name to the University Foundation at Sacramento State for their baseball or football programs.

Remembering Marc Tool; His Impact on CSUS’ Economics Department and the Discipline of Economics
By Bob Curry (Economics and International Affairs)
When Marc Tool passed away recently he was the surviving member of the cadre of six economists who formed the first generation of economics teaching faculty at Sacramento State College. He joined the department during the early 1950s a few years after SSC’s first economist Dr. Mary Foley (Ph.D Stanford) came on board during the late 1940s. While at the college, Dr. Foley became a major figure on the new campus and it was after her that Foley Hall was named. Unfortunately, Dr. Foley succumbed to cancer at an early age. While ill, she contacted her Stanford Ph.D friend and colleague Dr. Bill Hickman and asked him to join her at our fledgling university, then located on the Sacramento City College campus.
Dr. Hickman accepted the invitation and upon her passing, he immediately put together a group of six faculty members that included himself, John Ranlett (Ph.D. Oregon), Milt Baum (Ph.D. USC), Bob Robinson (Ph.D. UC Berkeley), Steve Polkinghorn (Ph.D. Chicago), and Marc Tool (Ph.D. Colorado). This is the faculty that I found in place when in 1956 I entered the college on the G.I. bill after serving four years in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean Police Action era. By that time the college had moved to its current location on “J” Street. I might add that Marc served in the United States Army during World War II when he was a member of a combat ski patrol.
Marc Tool was a superb lecturer and he brought to the department a specific intellectual version of the discipline of economics. It was referred to as the Institutionalist School and it blended historical, socioeconomic and political empirical foci into the body of orthodox economics that was dominated by abstract theory and quantitative analysis. Marc had a subtle way of directing students to consider what the Institutionalist School had to offer without trying to sludge hammer us into blindly accepting the proposition that institutionalism had a very great deal to offer.
Later in his career, Marc was asked to assume the responsibilities of editing the Journal of Economic Issues. It was, and still is the publication of the Institutionalist School. By that time I had joined the department and was serving as its department chair. He and I worked with the late Dean/President Austen Gerber and President Don Gerth in an effort to bring the journal’s publication-home to CSUS where it had a successful tenure.
In addition to his brilliance in the classroom, Marc was an accomplished scholar who authored books, journal articles, essays and book reviews. He was a socially and professionally engaging faculty member who, with his wife Lillian hosted some truly great dinner parties. Marc was deeply committed to shared faculty governance and served as department chair and academic senator. He was the type of presence that inevitably fades from memories but I assure you, he was an enormous presence on our campus and CSUS was greatly enhanced by that presence!

Karen Horobin

1953 ~ December 18, 2018

December 18, 2018 Karen Horobin, a longtime Davis resident and CSU Sacramento professor, died peacefully in her home under the care of her loved ones and the Yolo Hospice. After a determined fight, she succumbed on December 18, 2018, to an aggressive brain cancer first diagnosed after emergency surgery on July 28, 2017. She was 65 years old. Karen (aka "Kaz" or "Kazie") was born to a working-class family in the English West Midlands, growing up in Tipton, in the historic "Black Country" of the Industrial Revolution. Her English father was an auto mechanic, her Irish mother a homemaker, neither of whom had finished high school. Despite showing early intellectual promise, Karen disliked her schooling, and hence dropped out at age 15. She then took a series of odd jobs at venues ranging from a Wolverhampton casino to an Ibiza beach resort. Not until about a decade later did she restart her education back in the West Midlands, quickly getting her high school equiva-lency and then, only three years later, graduating with first-class honors in psychology from the University of Birmingham. Soon after, Karen entered the graduate program in psychology at the University of California, Davis, where she earned her Ph.D. at age 33 the roughly 10 "gap years" notwithstanding. By then she had already married Norman Wohlers and given birth to the first of their two children, necessitating that she start making a good income fast. After temporary instruction appointments at UC Davis, she eventually obtained a ladder-track position in the Department of Child Development within the School of Education at "Sac State." There she advanced rapidly to full professor. At CSUS, Karen had a distinguished career in both university teaching (most notably her popular yet demanding "History of Childhood" course) and campus service (such as chairing her department through some difficult times). But her most remarkable professional achievements concerned community service, especially developing programs in early childhood education, for which she won numerous awards, from local to statewide. It was not unknown for Karen to convert prize money associated with an award into a charitable contribution to a community program to which she was most strongly committed and even matching the donation from her own coffers. Karen absolutely loved to travel, whether with members of her English family, her California family, or some combination together. She would thus seek adventures throughout the United States, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Australia, and beyond. In fact, to celebrate her retirement from CSUS in 2016, she and her husband took a highly memorable trans-Canadian train trip from Vancouver BC to Halifax NS starting out with the spectacular Rocky Mountaineer. And yet, almost paradoxically, Karen immensely enjoyed working in her backyard garden, attending to the fruits, vegetables, and herbs that would end up in various family meals. Karen is survived by her two children, Cady Mara Horobin-Wohlers and Brice William Horobin-Wohlers; her stepdaughter, Sabrina Dee Simonton and husband, Dean Keith Simonton; plus her family back in England, including her older sister, Iris Ryan; and two nieces, Lisa Barnes and Nicola Todd, who all flew in for final visits after her glioblastoma multiforme diagnosis was revealed. Karen was widely loved and will be deeply missed. Karen's long-term treatment was overseen at the UCSF Brain Tumor Center, which conducts clinical trials aiming to better treat if not outright beat this disease.

Robert J. Heilman

1928 ~ December 23, 2018

Robert James Heilman, Professor Emeritus of Sacramento State University, died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, December 23rd, at the age of 90, in Sacramento after a brief illness. He was born in San Diego and grew up the youngest child in his family. His mother Alice graduated from Stanford University in 1909 and his father Frank was a native Iowan who moved to San Diego at the turn of the century. Bob graduated high school from Francis Parker School where his mother was a teacher. Bob was active in Francis Parker reunions throughout his life. He attended the University of California at Berkeley briefly, and subsequently served in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict, which influenced him to oppose early and vigorously the Vietnam conflict from 1963 to that war's conclusion. He earned both his BA and MA from Sacramento State College. He worked for the State of California before embarking on a teaching career, starting out as a lecturer and retiring as a Professor in the School of Social Work at CSUS. He was popular among students for his undergraduate classes in Statistics, and graduate classes on Social Work, Poverty and Death and Dying. Bob co-founded the Sacramento Renaissance Society to create a center for lifelong learning and community engagement for older adults on the CSUS campus in 1986. That same year, while traveling on sabbatical in Europe he heard a Latvian Women's choir known as the Dzintars and was so moved by their music that he eventually coordinated a California bus tour and recording contract with Rykodisc. This was a highlight of his lifelong passion for choral music. He was a singer with the Sacramento Chamber Singers and the Sacramento Opera Chorus for many years. In 1972, he partnered with others to purchase land on the North Fork of the Cosumnes River, Jaybird Hill and Ladies Valley, for the preservation and enjoyment of the Sierra foothills. After retirement he made his home on the ridge of the hills he loved. He was preceded by sisters, Suzanne, Christine; and brother, F. William "Bill." He is survived by Sarma Karsiere, his life partner since 1991, of Sacramento; by sons, Brian Heilman (Sultana) grandchildren, Michele, Jacob of Washington DC; Eric Heilman (Pamela), grandchildren, Max, Abigail, and Grace of Long Beach; Ethan Heilman (Nhut) of Stockton; and daughter, Karen Bearson (Adam Bearson) grandchildren, Nathaniel and Lillian of Sacramento; and by his former spouse, Marilyn Heilman, of Berkeley. Donations in his memory may be made by mail to the Diamond Springs Volunteer Firefighters Association, 501 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond Springs, California 95619 or to the Imagination Theater of Placerville.
